No one came forward for this little guy who we have named Eric. We have now neutered and microchipped him . Redgate animal sanctuary, despite being full with cats have very kindly agreed to take him where he will be held for 7 days and if no one claims him he will be put up for rehoming . Good luck little man ❤️

This is jimmy. He’s our first patient to try out our “Cat Den“ in the waiting room. Bringing your cat to the surgery is a very stressful event for them. Our nursing team has been thinking about ways minimise this stress. The cat den allows owners to place their cat basket in an enclosed hub off the ground where they feel safer. We also provide towels infused with pet remedy calming spray that can be placed over them to relax them and block their view of dogs and other animals aswell as reducing noise.

From Saturday (1st September 2023) the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons introduced new prescribing laws that we have to follow.

We would like to reassure our clients that in reality this will make little difference to your experience when you visit us at Ambion.

The newly introduced laws have introduced some changes to the way we prescribe, with those that affect us most, being that an animal MUST be examined at the time that antibiotics, antivirals or controlled drugs are prescribed. And, for us to prescribe flea and wormers (known as anti-parasiticides) we have to examine your animal at least every 12 months, though this can normally be done at vaccination time, and we now have to make specific notes in your records as to which product we are happy to supply for a given period.

This does mean that if you wish your animal to change anti-parasiticide during the year to another Prescription Only Medicine (POM-V), then we will need to re-examine your animal and write a new prescription on the clinical notes. This examination will incur a consultation charge.

With this in mind please expect a conversation about flea and worm treatments at vaccination visits. This will not tie you into having flea and worm products from us, but will mean a prescription is available should you need them.

Due to these changes please ensure you give us 24 hours notice when requiring repeat medications.

Thank you for your cooperation.
